[SOLVED] Can't mount USB pen drive

Hi everyone!

I have a FAT32 Toshiba USB pen drive, but I can't mount it. I use Thunar in i3wm to automount drives (my Android phone and my second hard drive in EXT4 both work fine), but it seems that my USB pen drive can't be recognized at all.

Output of lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Re: [SOLVED] Can't mount USB pen drive

You are likely on an outdated kernel, if you've updated recently and that included a kernel update you should reboot. The versions of

pacman -Q linux
uname -a

must match.

If that wasn't it post a complete dmesg after plugging in the stick.

Yeah, I updated recently and after rebooting my USB works again.

Thanks!
